Comment on 20.4.1820
Thorvaldsen had been invited to make proposals for improvements of the Academy of Fine Arts, cf. letter dated 8.11.1819 from Christian (8.) Frederik to C.F. Hansen:
p((.“I also think it highly desirable that you and Thorvaldsen with your experience, one as a teacher of long standing, the other as professor at a foreign academy and himself an artist in the capital of art could suggest various improvements of the academy, and for the present I have asked the King, to whom I have recommended the artistic community, to lend a willing ear to what you together with the director might advance for the benefit of the academy.“
